CINEMAVETERANS Harold Lloyd Boasts Studio Never Turned Out Picture That Needed Gensorship On Account Of Morals. By LEICESTER WAGNER United Press Staff Correspondent ' HOLLYWOOD. (UP) Censorship Is a topic for fireside conversation here. You can't get an expression of opinion from many of the Indus try's leading lights because of the fear that executives will frown. But there are three men. at least, whose opinions are valuable Harold Lloyd. Prank Craven and Jack Cun ningham. It Is Lloyd's boast that no picture ever left his cutting room that had to feel the scissors of censorship for moral reasons. Craven has been America's fore most author of clean comedy for 20 years. Cunningham, In the 18 years he has been writing for pictures, never has written a scene that waa off color. Said Lloyd: "I am definitely opposed to 'po litical' censorship If that Is what Is meant by 'official' censorship. The best censorship la that which comes at the source the studio. Such cen sorship can be compelled by a pub lic which shuns the type of picture that needs censoring. Producers gauge their type of production by box office popularity. That's why we see so many 'cycles.' An aroused public always Is the best system of policing, and when pictures reach the state that they have to be cen sored. It can be done best by means of box office boycott." Said Craven: "There are plenty of plays and pic tures which are in good taste, but the situation Is like that of one rot ten apple In a barrel of good ones. The bad pictures cauM a censorship blight to attack the entire output We do not need a rigid censorship to correct the situation. Box office demand continually Is correcting it, "Decent pictures are the ones which have made big money. Look at the List: The Singing Pool, Pour Horsemen. Ben Hur, Birth of a Na tion, Cavalcade, The Covered Wagon, and It Happened One Night. It Is a matter of record that these pictures, none of which had any hint of smut, are the ones which have gross ed from S3.S00.000 to $3,000,000 each. They top the list for all time." Said Cunningham: "It Is inconceivable to me that the straight-thinking public of American antecedents and ancestry ever agreed to censorship of any sort other than that to be found In laws, existing , from the foundation of the republic, against Indecent public exhibitions If these laws are not sufficient to protect movie goers, legislatures rep resenting the will of the people should enact new ones. "Censorship of an exofficio com plexion usually feeds on what it cre ates. I honestly believe there would have been little need for the kind of censorship now bothering producers had there never been any boards of oensora." Craven's record bears out hie po sition as a writer and actor of clean plays. In the past 20 years he has written, or rewritten, a play a year. Cunningham wrote "The Covered Wagon," which Craven cited as an example of clean film fare. He has written many other screen plays filled with what he calls "an honest exhibition of human emotions hon est murder and honest sex." Lately he's been writing lor W. C. Fields "The Old Fashioned Way" Is one, All three men, with a combined experience of more than 80 years catering to public entertainment whim, are agreed that censorship be gins at home. 4 Mumps Freed Prisoner SEATTLE (p) Just get a esse of mumps in Jail and see how quickly you get out.

T SOME MET Prehistoric Swamp Near Big Horn Mountain Pro vides Evidence Used As Basis Savants Deductions BILLING 8, Mont. (UP) An obit uary 120 million years old was read here by Dr. Barnum Brown of the American Museum of Natural His tory. Re-enacting the role of some myth ical, snaggle-toothed, hairy-chested eye witness, Dr. Brown described the death struggles of a dozen or more gigantic dinosaurs In a prehistoric swamp near where the Big Horn mountain now pierces Wyoming skies Dr. Brown announced that the American Museum-Sinclair dinosattr expedition, which he heads, had un covered four more sauropaids prehis toric 40-foot lizards to add to the eight previously unearthed near Grey- bull, Wyo. How Tey Met Death The noted bone hunter described how bis fossilized prey met death eons ago. WeW see a flat land, rich In vege- tatlon and dotted by countless shat tlow lakes, swamps and rivers. The climate la troprcal. Pines, cycads figs and bananas cover the uplands Thick grass grows along the banks and rank vegetation thrives. "Now the actors come upon the stage. Huge slab-sided creatures that weigh 15 to 20 tons apiece and meas ure nearly 60 feet. They have whip like tails and long necks at the end ends of which sit ridiculously small heads. They float, swim and feed in the water unhurriedly. They en ter by the tens of thousands, hud dling close together as reptiles do. and filling every lagoon as far as the eye can see. Stage Setting Changed "Now Mother Nature slowly changes the stage setting. The lakes dry up and the swamps vanish. The sauro- poid dinosaurs become more and more concentrated as they are pushed to gether In huge herds. "The sauropold dinosaurs are water animals and the disappearance oi water la the death sentence. They cannot migrate because of their great bulk. Some starve to death others are stranded In the mire that fol lows the receding water while oth ers struggle to solid ground only to be killed by the flesh-eating mon sters that skulk around pools, and live high, for a time, on the hapless sauropolds. "A clear-cut cross section of the large scale drama is now being un covered In Red Gulch Quarry. The hill In which the skeletons rest once was the bottom of a large lake which shrank Into a tiny pond. "It is perfectly evident that it is the bottom of that pond we have stumbled upon the very spot where a dozen or more sauropolds made their last and futile stand against fate." . 4 SEATTLE, Aug. 30.
